Reminds me of "The Claw" thread. Internet investigations ftw.

Essentially guy "sells" same set of wheels to two people. He uses other people's pictures for the wheels leading everyone to believe wheels don't exist, turns out he's a scammer all over the place and there's currently like 15 forums all contributing info on him. He's been using proxies for a while, and they have what seems like 40-60 different ones, and have his area pretty much narrowed down. The douche doesn't really know how to use photoshop to remove license plate numbers so some members fixed that so now they have plate numbers from his last few cars.

As the world is falling down around him, he's giving the two guys he's scammed their money back, but it appears they're still pressing charges. And, nicely, the guys who got scammed aren't revealing much info as far what they've done involving officials, but have said that things are in the works.

Honestly if you have an hour to kill, check it out. Very intertaining thread.
Thanks!

I hope he get's hung by his balls.

My best friend had something similar to this happen to him earlier this year. He bought a hood for his Saleen from some tool out in Chula Vista and got scammed out of $1000. Turns out, the guy who scammed him has done it to 7 other people with the same hood, and now it's up for sale again on eBay! Right now the FBI has an active investigation on the guy, not to mention the Mustang forum my friend is on has a few people out there tracking down info on the guy!

Second post of this thread. Great minds think alike.

And holy shit, I go away for 6 hours and 15 pages becomes 30. Not gonna waste more time on it, good to know they have all the info now though. Hope that guy gets exactly what he has coming to him.
